12/12/12 12:12 Party!

We had a great time today at our 12/12/12 party!

We played a fun 12/12/12 board game, where we had to do activities if we landed on a polar bear like name 12 of our favourite foods or say an addition question when the answer is 12.

We had to complete a 12/12/12 word search and see how many times we could find the word 'TWELVE' in the puzzle.

We played buzz with multiples of 12, and '21' but instead of having to sit down if you say "21" you had to sit down if you said "12".

We learnt fun facts about the number 12.

We played cool maths games when we had to find factors of 12 and number pairs that add to 12.

(Here are the links) Number Bonds 12   Math Lines 12

We counted down to 12:12 and then we played our Secret Santa game, which was loads of fun.

We enjoyed a delicious shared lunch too.

Thank you families for supporting us to have such an amazing celebration day!

We made our road signs using clay today.

It was very enjoyable and we didn't even make the classroom too messy!

Chameleon Calendar Art

We made fantastic chameleons for our calendar art.

They are colourful and crazy.  The background is black because Madagascan chameleons give off a glow at night time!

They are some of the best pieces of art work we have ever made!

They will be for sale as calendars, diaries and greeting cards.  More details to come.

You can also view the art in our classroom.

Open for Learning Day

Thank you to all the families who came along today to share our learning.

Road signs around the school

We went for a walk around our school to look at the road signs that are around us. If you ride your bike on the road you must obey these signs. We are going to make our own road signs for kids on bikes to follow.

Koru Art

For Maori Language week we drew koru to represent our whanau.

WALT find out which colour clothing to wear when we cycle

These are the people that were hiding and we were finding because we were trying to find the right clothes to wear when we ride bikes so that cars can see us easily. We found out that a fluro vest, light blue and white are the best colours to wear.
